.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fI\%memcached_delete()\fP is used to delete a particular key.
\fI\%memcached_delete_by_key()\fP works the same, but it takes a master key
to find the given value.
.sp
Expiration works by placing the item into a delete queue, which means that
it won\(aqt be possible to retrieve it by the "get" command. The "add" and
"replace" commands with this key will also fail (the "set" command will
succeed, however). After the time passes, the item is finally deleted from server memory.
.sp
Please note the the Danga memcached server removed tests for expiration in
the 1.4 version.
.SH RETURN
.sp
A value of type \fBmemcached_return_t\fP is returned
On success that value will be \fBMEMCACHED_SUCCESS\fP\&.
Use \fBmemcached_strerror()\fP to translate this value to a printable
string.
.sp
If you are using the non\-blocking mode of the library, success only
means that the message was queued for delivery.
